August 2019 .. the 2019 Digital Map Database U.S. national scope intersection-to-intersection road/line segments and associated address data.
It includes boundary and reference files for wide-ranging official political/statistical geography down to the census block level, generally
as of January 2019.

This section reviews resources for geographic reference and statistical mapping, and geography for routing logistics and optimization ..
the Census Bureau TIGER/Line, a continuously updated
geographic database. TIGER is used for geographic reference and geospatial processing of data from various Census statistical programs
including the decennial census Census 2010
and American Community Survey (ACS).
The public use version of TIGER is released annually that includes updates developed during the year.
ProximityOne integrates the TIGER geographic updates in the ProximityOne
Digital Map Database.
Warren Glimpse, founder of ProximityOne,
developed the GBF/DIME used as the prototype for TIGER/Line development.

Using GIS & GeoDemographics

Whether you are a
GIS
user or not yet using GIS, you can benefit from our self-paced, online course
Using GIS & GeoDemographics.
Learn more about using wide-ranging geography and subject matter to develop reference and thematic maps.
Develop skills to perform site analysis, develop site reports, perform geospatial analysis.
Integrate anyy/all of the TIGER data in to your GIS projects.
See additional information.

Mapping Census Blocks Using TIGER
Graphic below illustrates use of TIGER census block
shapefile to show census blocks for two Ohio counties
in context of 2018 CBSAs/Metros.
Clicking on a census block shows a mini profile for that block.
- view developed using ProximityOne CV XE GIS and
related GIS project.

2019 Shapefiles and Datasets Related to TIGER
Shapefiles and datasets derived from or related to TIGER 2019 include many types of geography and data. The data are developed in the form of
shapefiles and dbase
files that may be used directly with the ProximityOne CV XE GIS software at no fee.
Perform wide-ranging mapping and geospatial analysis applications using these GIS resources.
See more about mapping statistical data.

Illustrative Application .. goto top
The following graphic shows an example of using TIGER shapefiles in a regional context.
These applications focus on an area in the Kansas City, MO-KS metro.
See the related, more detailed, information about this application in the TIGER/Line 2017 Roads
section.
- zoom-out to national view or zoom-in to intersection level.
- Starbucks locations (red markers) shown to illustrate use/integration of address-based data.
- metro counties are shown using the counties shapefile
- Kansas City, MO (orange cross-hatch pattern) shows use of the city/places shapefile.

TIGER 2019 all lines shapefiles include 67.0 million line segments (mainly roads and streams):
 approximately 42.8 million line segments are roads (typically intersection to intersection).
 among road segments, 31.4 million segments have a populated name field;
.. the remaining 11.4 million road segments have no name assigned.
 among road segments, 16.9 million segments have an assigned left-side low address field;
.. the remaining 25.9 million segments have no address in the left-side low address field.
Data for each of these fields and others are provided for each county in the interactive table below.

Usage Notes
 Use Select Area to select/filter county.
- Click ShowAll button first.
- Key in any part of name and click Select Area button.
- Search will filter for any name with that exact, case sensitive, spelling.
- Jackson is used as an example.
 Click ShowAll button between specific queries.

ProximityOne Roads Shapefiles & Database
ProximityOne roads shapefiles include 100% compatibility with the Census Bureau version with added features and accessibility;
nothing is lost, much is gained. ProximityOne version:
 has updated and improved coverage of ZIP code assignment to right and left side of segment.
 includes an extended set of right and left side segment geocodes (e.g., city, CBSA, school district, others).
 includes latitude-longitude from and to segment end-points.
 includes all lines (streams, rails, etc.), not only roads (roads identifier include for easy query).
 available as dBase only for non-GIS applications.
.. dBase/attributes file alone (without .shp) not available from Census.
.. road segment attributes file alone also available as CSV.
.. optionally eliminate role of shapefile and dBase file structure altogether.
 ready-to-use shapefiles on DVD (or download from our server -- immediate access).
.. just put the disc into a drive and directly add road shapefiles to your GIS project.
.. no unzipping, no hard disk space usage (optionally copy to hard disk).
 includes user application support.

About TIGER/Line .. goto top
TIGER/Line shapefiles are created from the Census Bureau's TIGER
(Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) database
of selected geographic and cartographic information. TIGER is used by the Census Bureau
to support the mapping and related
geographic activities required by the decennial and economic censuses
and statistical survey programs. TIGER/Line shapefiles are available for
public use and are typically used to provide the digital map base
for GIS (Geographic Information System) and mapping applications.

TIGER/Line files are digital, vector-based point, line and polygon shapefiles and related files.
TIGER/Line shapefiles do not contain any demographic or other subject matter data
though wide-ranging subject matter data can be knit-together with the shapefiles.
